Are you struggling with your chess development? While dedicating hours and hours to improving your craft, does your rating simply refuse to go upwards? Are you spending loads of money on chess books and DVDs, yet feeling no real improvement at all? No worries—the book you are holding in your hands might represent a game changer!

Years of coaching experience, as well as independent research, have allowed the author to identify the key skills that will enhance the progress of just about any player rated between 1600 and 2500. Becoming a strong chess thinker is not only reserved exclusively for elite players but actually constitutes the cornerstone of chess training. This is no less important than memorizing opening theory, acquiring middlegame knowledge, or practising endgames.

By studying Universal Chess Training, you will:

  • Learn how to universally deal with any position you might encounter in your games, even if you happen to see it for the first time in your life.
  • Have the opportunity to solve 90 unique, hand-picked puzzles, extensively annotated and peculiarly organised for optimal learning effect.
  • Gain access to more than 300 pages of original grandmaster thoughts and advice, leaving you awestruck and hungry for more afterwards!
